RIHANNA has scored a second week at the top of the U.S. pop charts, despite a challenge from AMERICAN IDOL runner-up DAVID ARCHULETA. The newcomer's single Crush becomes the Billboard Hot 100's highest chart debut in more than 18 months after rocketing to number two thanks mainly to 166,000 first-week downloads.Archuleta's hit just didn't have the power to topple Rihanna's Disturbia. Forever, by the R&B star's boyfriend Chris Brown, slips to three on the new chart and Katy Perry's I Kissed A Girl falls to four. Meanwhile, country star Kenny Chesney scores his first top 50 debut on the Hot 100 with Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven at number 41.
David has delivered an amazing first single to his fans, and the public. It is rhythmic, David's superior vocals soar and are identifiable throughout, has a catchy beat.. Hey-> I watched lotsa American Bandstand back in the day :)
ReplyDeleteHis older fans like me find themselves humming along unconsciously, and the verses transport the listener back to those bygone days of school girl and schoolboy CRUSHES... It has an appeal across a very broad spectrum of listeners, and should effectively silence the detractors and critics who didn't believe he had mainstream appeal. CRUSH is the catapult for David to continue his growth and evolution as an artist - I ANTICIPATE MANY MANY YEARS OF OUTSTANDING MUSIC FROM HIM. TAKE A BOW DAVID... YOU'VE ARRIVED.
WELL DONE DAVID JAMES ARCHULETA - Those who were with you from the beginning knew down to our souls you were something special, and have never wavered in our belief that you are destined, as Paula told you after you sang IMAGINE, for SUPERSTARDOM… soak it all in tonight, little brother - this one is for you…
